Hi all, I'm brainstorming on risks and benefits of 0603 caps vs 0402 caps. If the cap value, voltage rating, dielectric material, terminations, and use conditions are the same, would one be better than the other? My thoughts are it would be a wash or at least not significant. Here's what I have so far: Benefits of 0402 vs 0603: Smaller size reduces thermal stress/strain on solder joints from CTE or board flexing. Smaller size uses less real estate on board Risks of 0402 vs 0603: Equipment may have difficulty placing Thinner dielectric spacing to achieve same capacitance, cap higher failure rate Smaller size, cracks easier to develop Higher risk of tombstoning What do you all think? I'm sure I missed something, maybe even wrong on some of the above. Thanks, Glenn
